jenkothewanderer Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi Fred24 if you are carrying the normal calorgas containers you have no problem,they need to be switched off and they will probably pull you over at checkin to examine the containers. If you look on the eurotunnel website it explains it all but below is a copy: Gas containers If travelling with a campervan, caravan or van, any gas container must be declared when asked, and will be checked at the appropriate checkpoint by Eurotunnel.
